Don't Chuck Your Chucks

Annie's summer outfit incorporates two different tones of denim for a mix-matched yet casually put-together look. She threw a moto vest over a mint green top, paired it with cuffed jeans, and tied it all together with her classic white high-top Chuck Taylor Converse.

You can easily style a pair of these shoes by wearing them with any casual on-the-go summer outfit. These timeless kicks can be pretty expensive, but they last a long time and are incredibly versatile! So, let us help you find a pair within your budget!

Just like always, we encourage you to do some price comparisons and even to do a little thrift-shopping or coupon-hunting for the best deal possible.

We give you permission to splurge a little though, because the white high-top Chuck Taylor Converse are a trend that keeps coming back.

Trends With The Editor: Jogger Pants

Jogger pants could possibly be Fall's best trend. Why you ask? Because they are both comfortable AND chic! You can curl up in them to watch your favorite movie, hit the gym, run errands, and then magically transform into a glamorous fashionista with a quick change of shoes and accessories. To show just how versatile this trend is I've rounded up three ways to style these pants. 1. The first look has a casual-cool feel about it. A white tee and converse are dressed up with faux leather joggers, a wool coat and black clutch. Want to know the best part about this look? It's ALL from Forever 21! Chic, comfy, and affordable just how we like it, right ladies?

2. The second look features a pair of J Crew joggers paired with a structured blazer, sneakers, and a sporty bag. By day you can run errands in style and by night you can easily swap out the sneakers for heels, the bag for a clutch, add some sparkly accessories et voila your ready for a night on the town!

 

3. The third look is styled by Mara from M Loves M. It is a dressier way to wear the jogger pant and it is my personal favorite. Anything paired with a moto jacket and heels is a winning outfit in my opinion. Can you believe these pants are from Old Navy?!

 How would you wear this trend OR would you wear it at all? Let us know in the comments below!

Happy Styling,

The Moto Jacket: Your Fall and Winter Essential

Moto jackets (a catchy, shortened name for motorcycle jackets) are this fall and winter's go-to staple piece to create that edgy layered look. Today's moto jackets come in a countless variety of colors, patterns, and styles. Whether you're edgy, earthy, or eclectic, you'll have no problem finding one that fancies your taste! You can find them just about anywhere, and they range anywhere from $20-$200 depending on where you look.  This piece is a classic fall/winter item, so it's worth the investment to get one that you really love! Chelsea is showcasing her edgy, eccentric flare with this black and white crackle textured moto jacket by Sam Edelman.  She paired it with a graphic tee and ripped jeans (another HUGE trend this season). Don't be afraid to mix different textures and patterns!

Chelsea is also wearing a two-toned Moto Jacket, another new spin on this cool classic. The neutral tones and natural fabric make this a versatile piece that can go with many outfits. Chelsea purchased this amazing organic linen jacket for more than half off at the Eileen Fisher store!

Moto jackets can be worn with just about anything from a feminine printed dress to your favorite old t-shirt! Find one that's the right cut and style for you, and you'll be ready to effortlessly step out in style this fall!
